Democracy on Fire
Market-Dominant Minorities and the End of Social Cohesion
Book •
"Democracy on Fire: Market-Dominant Minorities and the End of Social Cohesion" by Amy Chua examines the tensions that arise in societies where a market-dominant minority group controls a disproportionate share of the wealth.
Chua argues that the combination of free-market policies and democracy can ignite ethnic conflict and undermine social cohesion in such societies.
She explores various case studies, including Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, to illustrate how economic inequalities along ethnic lines can lead to resentment and instability.
The book suggests that addressing these inequalities and promoting inclusive policies are essential for maintaining social harmony and the long-term success of democracy.
Chua challenges conventional wisdom by highlighting the potential downsides of globalization and democratization in deeply divided societies.
